if the container you used is flexible then try not and move it around until you know the roots have filled the pot ...... if the container flexs any when you pick it up the soil is disturbed and you end up damaging roots and not knowing it
dont laugh .......... miracle grow organic choice add some perlite and lime and some less then 5 dollar jobes organic plant food
Dark devil getting some purple happening
anything is probably better than what I'm using! I must've just got a bad batch. I bought some new soil already or I'd probably give that a try. I got some dr.earth it's full of good things so we will see if it works.
That's the problem I've had with fox farm causing ph lockouts the past two grows. I haven't checked my runoff this grow because I heard you don't have to when growing all organic. But the last two with the same soil mix was coming out at around 4-5. I added extra lime this go around and some vermiculite to try and buffer the ph but it seems to be happening again anyway. I even upped my feed and have been doing full strength so their shouldn't be a deficiency going on unless it's locked out. I'm guessing either iron or sulfur. I've foliar fed some kelp mixed with Epsom salts and it seems to have helped a little bit. I see you grow with fox farm also though and you never have problems Maybee it's the happy frog that's mixed in.
Usually 20-25 percent seems to be the average of what people use. So in a 3 gallon pot you would put about 3/4 gallon perlite
all i use anymore is the miracle gro organic choice ..... i was in coco with technaflora nutes forever ....... organics is just so much simpler ............ do you add lime to the soil when you make the pot up ?
Add probiotics! Research EMe by teraganix. Its the solution to Organics. With the molasses, it's a force to be reckoned with haha
Why can't I just break a probiotic tablet in some water and throw it in their! Lol
Yeah I put about two or three tablespoons per gallon of soil and it still didn't help that's why I tried putting vermiculite also because they say that has a neutral ph the acidity of fox farm overpowers everything!! Lol I mean it's made up of pine bark and peat so two acidic substances and then they say oyster shell for ph buffer but it's obviously not working. It's just a quality control issue is my guess and since I'm on the east coast the pine bark just kills it man they say they use fir bark on the west coast
You def can. Em-1 went for 15$ or so last time I purchased it. That bottle can make a bunch more bottles. Then costs get cheep as fuck. You can make fertilizers with it (same goes for tablets). Its easy on the plants. I feed an entire bottle of potassium extract to my autos by accident (wrong bottle without a label) anyway no signs of burn. I did this in my last feeding. Granted I'm getting ready to harvest, so, I wouldn't really care anyway.
i'll give it a shot ... ive been taking a tablespoon of jobes 4-4-4 and one of the 2-7-4 and bubbling it over night in 2 gal's of water with the agave / molasses mix it doesnt sound like much but it gives them a nice kick in the ass and both jobes ferts are loaded with the beni's ...... honestly have only fed it like 3 times with it and only it and at most i have some slight calcium spotting
